The Sunset Years of Life Lyrics

[Slim]
Mom and dad's been married 50 years today
And for them old time has surely slipped away
But those wrinkles they don't lie their young years have passed them by
I can see they're growing older day by day
[Slim and Joy]
Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.
Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife
Not one moment of regret, and there's lots to live for yet
Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.

[Joy]
How they loved us kids, no one but us could know
I remember endless times they told us so
One by one we all left home, we had families of our own
But their home is our special place to go
Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.
Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife
Not one moment of regret, and there's lots to live for yet
Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.

[Instrumental]

[Slim]
It's so good that we could all be home today
And I wish that everyone of us could stay
For mom and dad it was a must, one half hundred years of us
It's their golden anniversery today .
[Slim and Joy]
Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.
Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife
Not one moment of regret, and there's lots to live for yet
Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.

Yes, they're living in the sunset years of life.
